We're getting scapegoated for the DDOS attack that affected us too yesterday, all because @[email protected] made one (admittedly kinda funny) joke here.
Normally I wouldn't post petty internet bullshit like this but I thought our admins should know.
Edit: Entire thread is a gold mine for dunk tank material tho
Edit2: Now the Spook of @[email protected] is getting namedropped
Edit3: So after some digging (read: 5 mins browsing lemmy instances) another user made this post saying the attacker was someone with a personal beef with .world completely unrelated to us? Documented methodology of attack is different but similar to the spam bot we got hit with too, but idk I'm just amateur hour here not an OpSec pro.
Edit4: I was trying to click on the links provided in that post to double check but lemmy.world went down 
Edit5: Official Statement
So who is attacking us? One thing that is clear is that those responsible of these attacks know the ins and outs of Lemmy. They know which database requests are the most taxing and they are always quick to find another as soon as we close one off. That’s one of the only things we know for sure about our attackers. Being the biggest instance and having defederated with a couple of instances has made us a target.
Damn, I never knew what it was like to live somewhere rent-free until now
What a lying piece of shit he is. He didn't make a post supportive of trans people, he literally barged in here and told us we should talk less about trans issues. He had the fucking audacity to walk into a queer space and tell trans people to shut up about our lifes in our safe space, and now he still cries big baby tears about being banned for that months later.
Oh of course we could talk less about trans issues, just face the wall for a second really quick.
